South Carolina Hall of Fame

ETV has entered into an exciting partnership with the South Carolina Hall of Fame in Myrtle Beach to produce “mini-documentaries” about each of its inductees—contemporary and past citizens who have made outstanding contributions to South Carolina’s heritage, history, and progress.

The documentaries will be made available at the South Carolina Hall of Fame Web site and as part of their exhibit, located at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

Many will be combined or expanded into full-length Carolina Stories programs for broadcast statewide on ETV. For example, each South Carolina astronaut who has been inducted into the South Carolina Hall of Fame—Charles Duke, Ron McNair, and Charles Bolden—will have a separate documentary produced about him, but their three stories also will be told in a special Carolina Stories program, Space Heroes, which airs April 19, 2012. Other Carolina Stories broadcasts featuring Hall of Fame inductees will include South Carolinians in the Civil War (Mary Chestnut, Wade Hampton, Robert Smalls), From the Be to the Bop (Dizzy Gillespie, jazz legend), Born to Rebel (Benjamin Mays, civil rights pioneer), and many more.
